Hem - Great Houses Of New York lyrics

In the fall shattered from the coming cold
Buried in the marigolds by the garden wall

Fast asleep safe behind the window shades
Dreaming of the Palisades
Where we used to meet

And we are not the same now
Everything is wrong waving as the train goes
So long

One more year painting over famous words
Overgrown with chimney birds
Rising through the air

I can see roman candles in a row
Light 'em up and let 'em go
And they shoot across the trees
And fall behind the gate
Just like you and me back when we were great
